About Me
I have been sick since I was 15, and the last three years I have been in and out of the hospital fighting for my life, and not only do I only have some answers, but there is no hope for a cure or even slight positive relief. I work with adults that have MR/ DD, teaching them to live in a community. My family is great, but they don\'t understand at all, save for my cousin Kori, my mother-in-law Alice, my grandmother, my Aunt Bonnie and condemn me for treating my pain. I'm looking for a strong support group to ease my internal and external suffering, and help me to get through my day by day pain.

You came to mind just now. I was hoping to have sent the right kitty photos. But this scripture came to mind:
"Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9b
Hugs and prayerful support,

Support Groups
Close Chronic Pain
I have several chronic syndromes, auto immune diseases, scoliosis, pain conditions, and even stomach paralysis. I have a family that shuns pain medication use, they believe if you use it at all you are an addict. I recently got red flagged at a pharmacy, although I had done NOTHING outside of doctors orders, and have not used that pharmacy for nearly a year, and I have one cousin that understands that is going through a lot of what I am, and that is all that understands. I need support.
